The Front

This walk is part of the Devonport Heritage trail, layers of history and societal change present themselves to me. The lure of the sea is enticing, now and in the past. I wonder if conditions are favourable? Follow this link to discover the current condition of the sea. You may also guess at what it is like to be there now based on the forecast. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/marine-shipping-forecast#plymouth This community space is an open access area, the boundary wall at one end marks the beginning of Devonport dockyard, an industrial and military area, you can often watch Royal Navy ships passing by. Ship spotters are a regular sight. The locality is mixed, social and private housing residents mix with tourists, swimmers and sailors, playing, drinking coffee and walking dogs. This is also part of the Plymouth sound group of SSSi's, protected for its flora and fauna, geology and historical significance. I walk my dog here everyday, looking out to sea and contemplating. Visit my website to see the moving image and hear the sound of The Sound. https://joannedorotheasmith.format.com/thefront#1 Devonport UK SX 45254 53954
